- What are the Usenet newsgroups?
-
The Usenet newsgroups are one of the oldest parts of the internet.
Originally a message board/forum system used mainly by academics and scientists it has become a niche home to many thousands of mp3 traders, multimedia file swappers and file traders of every different kind. The Usenet's anonymity makes it the perfect place for privacy conscious uploaders and downloaders to share files, mp3's, movies, programs and image files both adult and non-adult.
Usenet newsgroups are still the home to many forums or discussion groups covering 1000's of topics of every imaginable sort. Science, movies, politics, movie stars, parenting, sports clubs, universities and colleges, Mensa, cult figures, you name it there is a discussion group that covers it. Millions of files, messages and other posts are made daily to the Usenet newsgroups. There is so much to the Usenet newsgroups I can't even begin to cover it all in this paragraph. If you have never used Usenet newsgroups before you will be impressed with the amount of content and subjects covered in the newsgroups. If you have specific questions about Usenet newsgroups please feel free to contact us at support@alibis.com with your questions. Our support staff can answer your questions and give you personal assistance in beginning to use the Usenet newsgroups. We can recommend a newsgroup reader program for you to use and we can help you get started using it.
- Who owns Usenet newsgroups?
-
Newsgroup postings live on the Usenet bulletin board system,
which is much like the World Wide Web in that many organizations
provide servers hosting and distributing newsgroups. No one
group controls Usenet, but rather it is a collaborative effort
between many parties. There are general rules, known as Netiquette, which generally govern the operation of the
Usenet network and each individual newsgroup. All posts, files
and messages that you find posted in the Usenet newsgroups are
placed there by Usenet newsgroup users like yourself. No company or usenet access provider (including alibis.com)owns
the files or messages posted in the Usenet newsgroups even though
you may download or view them through their Usenet newsgroup news
server. Usenet access providers like Alibis.com only own the news
servers and provide access via these servers to the worldwide
network of Usenet newsgroup servers. The Usenet network world wide is comprised of 10's of thousands of Usenet newsgroup servers.
